When I attempt to load a kernel from grub;
grub> kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20 boot=/etc/hda1
Error 12 Invalid Device Requested
Any idea's where I've messed up?

your devices/special files are located in /dev NOT in /etc (see your "boot" parameter).
If your system still doesn't boot check your harddisc's jumpering (master/slave/single-setting) and try repeating the Grub setup procedure.
good luck!
